Light-filled four-bedroom maisonette arranged over three floors in Kemptown Village, recently redecorated and offered with a 996-year lease and share of freehold. The apartment delivers generous period proportions — a large dual-aspect living room with high ceilings and bay window, separate kitchen, two bathrooms (including en suite) and four double bedrooms. Chain-free sale and current HMO licence present straightforward options for residential use or rental investment.
Location is a major asset: a 3-minute walk to the seafront and local leisure amenities, close to Brighton College and the Royal Sussex County Hospital, with fast transport links into Brighton station and onward to Gatwick/London. Service charge is modest (£720) and council tax band is low, helping running costs.
Buyers should note this property sits in a busy, cosmopolitan district with high local crime statistics and an area-classified as deprived; the sociable seafront and village atmosphere can bring evening activity and occasional noise. The building is Victorian with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) — newly renovated internally but likely to benefit from future insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. EPC rating D reflects scope to upgrade heating and fabric for lower bills.
Overall this is a rare, well-located four-bedroom apartment that suits investors (HMO-ready) or buyers seeking spacious period accommodation close to the sea; plan for some longer-term fabric and energy improvements if lower running costs are a priority.
